A memorial poem for my grandmother

I didn’t see you in this world
When it was time to say goodbye
And somehow it seems that I was there with you
When God called you to rest.
I know you may have struggled
To let go of us here,
Just as we struggled to surrender you to the Lord,
But there’s a special place for you in Heaven.
This winter snow is bitter cold
Freezing the tears on our face,
Tears of loneliness and joy.
Always smile down between the clouds
And I’ll keep smiling up at you.
Our bodies fade and return to the earth,
But our spirit is eternal
And one of shining gold such as yours
Deserves rest.
I just missed you when you left this world,
But I’ll catch up with you later
I promise.
